Product Description:
Rebecca Yue's unique approach to calligraphy comes from years of teaching this ancient art. Most teachers prefer to demonstrate all of the basic brushstrokes before teaching you how to form words. In Rebecca's experience, however, students soon become bored with this method and fail to progress. Whilst teaching new brushstrokes, Chinese Calligraphy Made Easy allows the reader to practise them, and brushstrokes learnt previously, by writing Chinese words. From this, the reader feels a sense of achievement and satisfaction at the end of every lesson - which, in turn, stimulates them to look forward to the next exercise. As the lessons progress, the words introduced become more complicated. When there are enough words to form phrases, projects are introduced. These include painting Chinese characters onto a bonsai pot, a t-shirt, a vase and making personalised greeting cards.

Product Description:
There's something neighborly about being invited into someone's yard or home and encouraged to look through their stuff. Then allowed to buy it--or not. In this witty, informative book, Bruce Littlefield takes you on a voyeuristic adventure into homes and lives across America to discover everything we love to buy, sell, and collect--one garage sale at a time.

Renting a truck and toting a sack full of a thousand crisp one-dollar bills, Littlefield hunts his way across America from the World's Longest Yard Sale to the World's Biggest Garage Sale--not to mention every barn, stoop, estate, and tag sale in between. Detailed photographs offer an in-depth look at a range of collectibles, while first-person stories from garage salers and expert collectors offer insight to the art of the bargain--with loads of trade secrets thrown in for free. He also shows how to incorporate those unique buys into every room in the home through a virtual walkthrough tour of his 1940s' farmhouse that he decorated with garage sale finds. A month-by-month guide to the best sales around the country and a garage sale glossary round out this entertaining volume that offers fun, sale smarts, and infectious enthusiasm on every page.

This is an essential guide not only for the millions of savvy bargain hunters throughout the United States, but for anyone and everyone who simply loves America, its vistas, and its people.

Whatever you're looking for, you'll find out how to get it in Garage Sale America.
